This JRC Technical Report provides technical background on the work done for the derivation of the "Galileo Reference Antenna Pattern (GRAP)" model which is proposed to be adopted as the reference model by the Galileo Programme. The GRAP here described is a model representing the Galileo Full...

Fast charging is perceived by users as a preferential way for electric vehicles (EV) to extend average daily mobility. Fast chargers rated power, their expected operation mostly during peak hours and clustering in designated stations, raise significant concerns. On one hand it raises concerns...

The application of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) services in the road transportation sector has substantially increased in recent years. Position Velocity and Time (PVT) information is playing and will play even more in the future a crucial role in all aspects of Intelligent...

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) pose a significant safety and security threat when entering restricted airspace near critical infrastructure sites without authorization. In response, the European Union (EU) has prioritized policy actions to ensure the safe operation of Counter-Unmanned Aerial...

Road safety has become a major societal issue that should not be ignored. At present, a wide range of new technologies, including intelligent speed adaptation and collision avoidance systems, are being introduced to improve road safety levels and reduce these casualties. Among the various types...

This work describes the main achievements in the Passive AIS (P-AIS) project stage. The extensive literature research in the second chapter concludes performing additional in-situ experiments to estimate reliable target RCS and clutter reflectivity values at the AIS frequency range. The typical...

The available radio spectrum has become scarce in recent years due to the rapid growth of wireless communications systems and the high demand for large bandwidth services. In this context, a large number of wireless networks will coexist and operate within the same frequency bands causing large...
